"Diamond Eyes" is both Deftones heaviest ("Rocket Skates", "CMND/CTRL"), atmospheric ("Beauty School",
"Sextape"), and somewhere in between ("You've Seen the Butcher"). A modern classic in my own humble
opinion.

Faith No More crafted an album that cannot be pigeon-holed into one specif genre, instead hopping from the bands typical Alt. Metal, Country, Jazz, and countless others. A masterpiece to this Pencil's eyes if I do say so myself.

Truth time children! I'm not a big Post Metal fan. It's not that I dislike the genre, I admitingly have a difficult time sitting through long songs. However, Isis managed to make not only one of my favourite gems from the genre, but one of my favourite albums period.

i honestly don't know how this album makes me feel, and in this case I'm actually considering it a good things. "Desperate Living" is, when all is said and done, a good album. However it's like listening to a muppet have a temper tantrum while a mixture of metal and a SNES soundtrack play in the background.

"Secret Band's" first full length effort is an experience. From the killer riffage from the very reliable Will Swan, to
the blaring drumming from Matt Mingus, to Jon Mess's nonsensical lyricism and consistent howling. While far
from being consistent, and Jon Mess as a musician is somewhat of an acquired taste, "Secret Band" is a strange
beast that deserves to be listened to for all who know what they're getting themselves into.

What would have been a wonderfully emotional record, 'Home, Like NoPlace Is There" is instead bogged down by an at time, terrible vocal performance that becomes too noticeable to ignore. The instrumentation is somewhat simple yet very effective however. While the end result left me rather mixed; I do recommend anybody interested to give this album a listen.

There are album that are bogged down with filler tracks, and then there's Stadium Arcadium; a double album that
while it has its fair share of really great tracks, is countered by the fact that the album has an exhausting amount
of songs that just come off as anywhere from pointless while still listenable, to straight up bad.
